Award-winning children's author, Kena Sosa, guides students through the process of publishing a children's book and gives tips on how to create an original, exciting story that is ready to be published. She introduces learners to her three books to demonstrate how varied children's literature can be. Kena will discuss the different types of children's literature and their traits including picture books, middle grade chapter books and YA (Young Adult) novels. She describes how future authors can turn their stories into fantastic reads ready for young ears through story and character development. She also highlights the importance of editing in the process before submitting a manuscript, as well as the roles of the editor, illustrator and publisher in creating the final design and draft of the books. Giving examples of the types of characters, plotlines and problems characters face today, she helps learners develop a timely and modern story to avoid cliches in the genre. Once their manuscript is ready, Kena leads the way to help learners understand the submission process, how to locate and follow submission guidelines and find a publisher that fits their story. She finishes the course by giving ideas on book promotion and what is necessary to get the word out about their book.
